Class 1 2023 - 2024

Welcome to Class 1

Welcome back to the final half-term of Year 1. I can’t quite believe the year is almost over! I have absolutely loved my first year in year one, and feel privileged that I have gotten to witness the amazing progress your child has made. This half term is filled with lots of exciting events: our Dinosaurs Are Coming trip, class photos, Abbott’s Got Talent, Sports Day, and our end-of-year trip to Smithills Farm.

Reading

The children were excellent at remembering to bring their reading book bags in daily- let's ensure this continues! It is so important that you are encouraging your child to read regularly. The books that the children bring home have keywords for you to discuss and questions to ask your child about what they have read.  Your child's reading book will be changed on Mondays and Thursdays and their library book will be changed on Mondays.

PE

PE will be on Mondays and Fridays, but this could change depending on events. I recommend that your child brings their PE kit into school on a Monday and then takes it home on a Friday.

Morning Routine

Your child is expected to be in the playground and lined up with their class by 08:45 which is when the school day starts. They will be greeted by their class teacher, who will then lead them into the classroom. Anyone arriving after 08:45 will be classed as late. Once 08:55 is reached, classroom doors will be closed and children must enter through the main reception door, as learning will be well underway.
